Manchester United have been handed a double boost in their pursuit for Benfica forward Darwin Nunez, according to reports. Elite clubs from across Europe continue to monitor the 22-year-old amid him scoring 34 goals in 41 games for the Portuguese side this season.
Change is on the horizon at Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag prepares to take over as manager. His appointment comes as part of a wider shake-up behind the scenes and will prompt a massive summer rebuild.
The Manchester Evening News understands a new centre-back and holding midfielder are at the top of the agenda, but there could be further recruits in attacking quarters, too. Nunez has been mooted in that regard after a stellar return for Benfica, not only domestically but in the Champions League.
